In Greek mythology, Medusa is an iconic figure, often depicted as a winged woman with serpent-like locks. Unlike her Gorgon counterparts, she was sometimes described as strikingly beautiful - so captivating, in fact, that her gaze alone could turn onlookers to stone. A powerful symbol of feminine strength and defiance, Medusa embodied both rage and resilience. Though often misunderstood, her name itself means "guardian" or "protector," reflecting her enduring presence as a force of transformation and empowerment.
